Great Gatsby-esque

Right now I'm wishing I could pull off something that fabulous on my head. She makes it look so easy but I know that if I tried it I would look a little ridiculous. This wedding is insanely gorgeous and has a very handmade feel to it... go take a look at the rest of the amazing shots on the gabriel ryan photoblog.

LOVE this bouquet.

Forget the whole purple vs. white dilemma... maybe an all-succulent bouquet is the way to go.


Check out the rest of this charming desert wedding on Once Wed.

Happy Birthday to Me...

So, it's my last birthday as a single woman. (Yay!) Here's my plan for today:

Work. But we're having a really great trunk show for Modern Trousseau so the day should go pretty fast.

See Iron and Wine at the Troubadour with Kathryn.

Come home and eat the rest of my birthday cheesecake, if there's any left :)


Enjoy your weekend!

Max shot a wedding at Marvimon.


It's.... flawless.


I would post some of the pictures, but I love them ALL. And I can't pick. There's just no way.


So please.... just go here. right now.


Thank you.

Jessica & Eric

Jessica, my manager at work, just got the pictures from her engagement session! She and Eric are just the cutest couple! They're getting married in August at The Ocean Institute in Dana Point.

Working with another Jessica definitely leads to some confusion at the store... especially because we have quite a few things in common... brown hair, green eyes, both engaged to guys we went to high school with... but we make it work :)

I absolutely love the feel of these shots. This next one is my favorite!

We were having really weird, late-summer weather a couple weeks ago when they ventured out for their E-shoot... Jessica said it was about 100 degrees where they were shooting. But these two look so relaxed and refreshed despite the heat!

Yummy lighting on this one...




Check out the AHS Photography Blog for more amazing E-shoots. Congrats Eric and Jess!

yay :)

Just noticed that I have 50 followers. That's pretty sweet. I never imagined that this little blog would actually have an audience beyond my friends and family. So thanks, y'all!

By the way... if you follow Mason Jar Bride through Google Reader or some other RSS feed, I'd love to know so I can return the favor! Just leave a comment saying "I'm here!"

I'm sold.

Big Balloons are awesome.


Also, how fabulous is her dress?
